Generally, magic systems require wizards to expend energy in order to accomplish magic- however, can a wizard really give enough energy to accomplish typical magical spells? For example, I've read stories where a Mage causes a tree to grow or a hedge of thorns to spring up very quickly. How much energy would, say, a tree require to grow? Could a single person possibly have that much energy on hand without killing themselves? Another example would be fire- would very much energy be required to create it? Do you limit wizards to equal transactions of energy or do you find ways around this?
